What exactly Pining did on his voyage seems to be controversial, but I don't where the author found the source that Pining discovered America. Salasks 05:37, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Did Pining discover America?

edit

It does not appear that this hypothesis is universally accepted by scholars:

    • Tantalizingly, Martin Behaim's Erdapfel globe of 1492 -- made before Columbus's return from America, shows islands to the south of Greenland.

I suggest that the statements asserting he discovered America be qualified by saying that "some believe" or something similar. olderwiser 16:12, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Foundations of the Portuguese Empire, 1415-1580

By Bailey Wallys Diffie, George Davison Winius · 1977

"Vaz Corte-Real with the known voyage of two Danish seamen, Pining and Pothorst, and with a trip by Johannes Skolp (Scolvus) in 1476, rest on no substantial information, though they have been widely discussed by numerous historians. Nor does anything indicate that the Pining-Pothorst or the Scolvus sailings went beyond Greenland, a well-known area in the fifteenth century.32 The chief proponent of the joao Vaz-Pining-Pothorst voyage was Sofus Larsen. Since neither Larsen nor any other historian has produced any evidence to show a common voyage by the three, there seems no reason to dwell on the overwhelming reason for rejecting the voyage. There is no known record of it in archives in Portugal or Denmark."

Exploring Polar Frontiers A Historical Encyclopedia · Volume 2By William James Mills · 2003 https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Exploring_Polar_Frontiers/PYdBH4dOOM4C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Sofus Larsen pining&pg=PA185&printsec=frontcover

"Scholars dispute the extent of contact with Greenland during the late Middle Ages, after voyages to Norway ceased in 1410. Sofus Larsen (1925) has claimed that Christian 1, king of Denmark (1448-1481), comm issioned Didrik Pining, Hans Pothorst, and pilot Johannes Scolvus to take two Portuguese emissaries to Danish lands west of the Atlantic Ocean about 1470. According to Larsen, this expedition certainly reached Greenland and possibly Labrador and Newfoundland. Recent scholars are generally skeptical, believing that third-hand accounts of voyages by these figures and by the Portuguese Jo3o Vaz Corte-Real have been conflated into one and that there is very little reason to believe that any of these figures made such a voyage, with the possible exception of Scolvus, who may just possibly have explored west of Greenland.
